This was an interesting read, one that I read in one sitting. I wouldn’t say it’s the best novel ever written, but it was fun & for the most part, it kept me on my toes. I had a few issues with some of the writing, particularly the awkward queer aspect that felt tacked on & wasn’t really dealt with…but I appreciated it as a thriller/mystery! I also didn’t love the anticlimactic deaths of practically every non-main character, nor did I love the rushed ending. Nonetheless. did enjoy reading it!
